Hosea Burton calls out Anthony Yarde for British Light Heavyweight clash

發表評論

(L-R) – Head trainer Joe Gallagher & 何西阿·伯頓

多倫多 (十二月 7, 2018) — Former British light heavyweight champion Hosea Burton has never been one to duck a fight. 事實上, he’s looking for a fight.

Burton has made his intentions known, calling out undefeated Anthony Yarde, man to man, to his face. The two recently encountered one another during Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight week in Los Angeles, 加利福尼亞州, where Burton was on-hand to support his cousin, 憤怒.

“Let’s make the fight happen,” Burton told Yarde. “We’re both excited about it. They say I’m not up to you, but let’s get it going man.” Burton has gone undefeated for two years, since suffering his lone career defeat at the hands of Frank Buglioni, a fight in which he was winning prior to a final round stoppage. Buglioni has recently retired from the sport, leaving Burton to set his sights on Yarde, rather than avenging his defeat first.

Yarde recently scored a knockout victory over Walter Sequeira, 十月 20 in Brentwood, improving his record to 17-0 同 16 擊倒. Burton, 然而, hasn’t been impressed.

“If he’s six foot, I must be six foot nine, because he’s a lot shorter than that,” Burton said of Yarde’s stature. “I would be his first live opponent. Let’s get it on.”

Yarde’s world ranking would play well into Burton’s plans in 2019, which include fighting for a world title after recapturing his domestic gold.

“This would be one of the biggest domestic light heavyweight fights in UK history. Everyone is already placing Yarde amongst the world’s best, but the fact is, he has to get past Hosea,” noted Adam Harris of Athlete Development and Management. “We believe Hosea is the one who’s ready to go after a world title. Let’s have it out and find out who’s right.”

Burton also plans on showcasing his skills in Canada in the new year, following in the footsteps of his cousin Tyson, the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.

Both Tyson and his cousin, Hughie Fury, fought in Canada early in their pro careers, and have held training camps in the Great White North as well. “Some of the best in the world have been coming to Canada to accelerate their careers,” Harris noted, “including Billy Joe Saunders before his most recent fights and, 當然, Tyson in the past. We have a special relationship with the country, and the fight scene in Toronto is booming in a way we’ve never seen before. We have no doubt Hosea will be appreciated and find plenty of competition north of the border.”

Decastro: It’s My Destiny To Be World Champion.

發表評論

 

 

Bardney, Lincolnshire’s Nathan Decastro (14-0-0) wholeheartedly believes it is his destiny to become World Champion. In just over a weeks time he finally gets the opportunity to make his childhood dream come true, when challenges Accra, Ghana’s Daniel Adjei Sowah (20-6-2) 對於世界拳擊聯盟 (WBU), Super Middleweight Championship of the World at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

 

Decastro, 誰是目前排名 #6 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Intercontinental rankings, earned the shot for the WBU World Crown with a solid points victory over West African Boxing Union (WABU) Champion Agoe Ashong (11-2-0) to secure the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Commonwealth title at Pride Park in Derby back in September.

 

Speaking from his home earlier Decastro could barely hide his joy at the opportunity to fight for his first World Championship.

 

“I’m buzzing, I just can’t wait. I mean not only am I fighting for the World title, but will be fighting for it on the undercard of Scott Harrison’s return to the ring, exciting times.

 

“My camps gone really well, I’m feeling fitter and stronger than ever. We’re not leaving anything to chance; we’ve covered every conceivable angle.

 

“My father Frank has made sure of that, he’s a great coach, I really am blessed that he trains me.

 

“We know he’s a banger, but so am I and what’s more I have a better KO ration of 11 在 14 against his 13 在 28 and more importantly I believe I am more hungry for this than him.

 

“It’s been my dream since I started boxing as a youngster to win a World title and now I’m just over a week away from making my dreams come true.

 

“Especially as I am fighting for the WBU Title, we have history with this Championship at the Bracebridge Boxing Club, as Kelly Oliver whose father owns the club also fought for the WBU crown, at Cruiserweight, so have to win it and bring the belt back to the gym I’ve trained at all my career.”

 

Decastro then went on to vent his frustrations over the way bureaucracy had thwarted his previous Championship efforts.

 

“I’ve had a really frustrating year or so, yes I won the Commonwealth title last time out but twice this year I was supposed to challenge for the World title.

 

“Unfortunately bureaucratic red tape caused the fights to be cancelled, either Visa issues came into play, as with the original planned fight against Agoe (Ashong) in July or worse still unnecessary political interference by the EBU, which scuppered the IBF European fight against Ronnie (Landaeta).

 

“This time though it’s different, Daniel has his Visa and the EBU can’t possibly interfere, so no excuses.

 

“It’s my destiny to be World Champion, come 8th December, my dreams will come true, I will be crowned World Champion as I owe it to my legion of fans that have been awesome and so supportive.”

 

Nathan ‘Nightmare’ Decastro versus Daniel Adjei Sowah for the World Boxing Union (WBU) 世界超中量級冠軍, is the main support for the highly anticipated return to the ring of two time WBO World Champion Scott Harrison (27-3-2) against Tackie Annan (11-6-0) at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

麥吉文在歷史性的濱海克拉克頓賽事中艱難奪得輕重量級冠軍.

場邊報告: 贊布羅塔迪卡羅

 

週六晚上在濱海克拉克頓的公主劇院, 埃塞克斯, 職業拳擊在幾乎結束後回到了海濱小鎮，這是最受歡迎的 80 歲月, 當科爾切斯特的湯米·雅各布斯展示他最新的拳擊促銷活動時, 恰當地命名為“歷史”.

 

鎮上以前的職業拳擊, 早在二月 1939, 看看愛爾蘭的邁克卡萬 (Mike Kavan) 在當時剛開業的布特林 (Butlin) 度假營中擊敗倫敦的查理麥克 (Charlie Mack).

 

克拉克頓是一座有著悠久拳擊歷史的小鎮, 儘管自第二次世界大戰以來主要是業餘品種, 事實上，湯米·雅各布斯 (Tommy Jacobs) 本人在業餘職業生涯中曾多次在該鎮打鬥，克拉克頓碼頭保齡球館的餐廳讓這項運動的偉大人物之一永垂不朽。, 阿姆斯壯的, 它以美國拳擊手約翰亨利阿姆斯特朗的名字命名，他也在拳擊比賽中擊敗了英國冠軍厄尼羅德里克 1939.

 

這個新時代的第一場職業拳擊比賽應該以當前的世界拳擊基金會為主角，這似乎是相當合適的。 (WBF) 國際和歐洲冠軍, 以及此次活動的發起人, 湯米·雅各布斯, 在與鄧多克的非錦標賽六輪比賽中, 愛爾蘭的邁克爾凱利.

 

從開場鐘起，雅各布斯就開始與經驗豐富的對手展開戰鬥, 儘管只是嘗試性的測試, 但隨著回合的進展，行動變得更加充分, 雅各布斯將凱利扶到繩索上，然後用身體和頭部的巧妙組合來撕裂.

 

黃綠色, 以前的多冠軍挑戰者, 最初掩蓋並吸收了子彈，但很快就開始有效反擊.

 

第二個早期的更多相同內容, 儘管必須歸功於凱利的巧妙反應，這阻止了雅各布斯在第一節中取得同樣水平的成功, 然而當時鐘進入決賽時 20 在這一回合的幾秒鐘左右，雅各布斯開始用大擊球擊中身體，並且越來越成功, 如此之多以至於在最後幾秒鐘凱利在一次特別惡毒的左腳後被迫跪下.

 

不幸的是，凱利掙扎著喘口氣，及時站起來，打破了裁判李·穆塔的計數。, 官方停賽時間是 2 分鐘和 56 第二輪比賽秒數.

 

比賽結束後，湯米·雅各布斯宣布，他之所以參加非錦標賽六回合比賽，而不是原計劃與阿爾巴尼亞選手舒爾喬·弗雷諾齊 (Xhuljo Vrenozi) 進行的 WBF 洲際冠軍賽, 是他被提議為世界拳擊基金會挑戰澳大利亞兩屆世界冠軍薩姆·索利曼 (WBF) 12月世界冠軍.

 

當晚的第二場比賽中，迪恩·波特（Dean Porter）在對陣利物浦的史蒂文·桑納斯（Steven Sunners）的比賽中完成了他的職業首秀 (2-0-0).

多麼令人震驚的行動啊, 從開始到結束，兩個小伙子都全力以赴.

 

經過四輪激烈的激烈角逐後，結果很接近也就不足為奇了, 關閉它是, 裁判 Lee Murtagh 解讀記分卡 39-38 支持利物浦的史蒂文·桑納斯.

 

接下來是克拉克頓自己的本“克拉克西肯”之間的四輪羽量級比賽’ 庫克和貝爾法斯特的 Chris Wong, 兩人都是職業生涯首秀.

 

前幾輪, 與波特-桑納斯一樣, 雙方的戰鬥非常激烈，很難判定每一輪的獲勝者, 然而在第三局，庫克在本輪後期的一記精彩的身體射門讓愛爾蘭人跪倒在地後，這個決定變得容易了一些。.

 

經過四輪極具娛樂性的所有比賽後，裁判 Lee Murtagh 讀出記分卡 40-37 支持當地英雄本庫克.

 

與之前的比賽一樣，這是一部史詩般的全動作驚悚片, 如此之多以至於毫無疑問這是當晚的戰鬥.

 

不得不說，我真的很喜歡這場比賽，希望在這對組合打了幾場比賽之後，會有一場重賽，因為我很想看到這兩個人再次互相對抗, 這是很好的.

 

當晚的第四場比賽中，伊普斯維奇超中量級選手羅布·埃爾登首次亮相，對陣利物浦選手李·庫珀.

 

埃爾登起步艱難而快速, 與更有經驗的敵人戰鬥，用重擊擊中身體和頭部. 最初庫柏掩蓋了，但很快就開始用自己的一些大鏡頭進行反擊, 然而這樣做給他的防守留下了一個空缺，伊普斯維奇球員很快就利用了這一機會，用一記右拳將科珀打倒在地。.

 

庫柏站了起來，行動以同樣的方式恢復, 埃爾登在與大人物撕破臉之前支持科珀, 庫柏再次以自己的大鏡頭回應. 當回合接近第二分鐘時, 艾爾登再次發現庫柏盔甲上的漏洞，這次他用一記大右拳擊中了庫柏的身體，第二次也是最後一次將這位利物浦人送上了畫布。. 官方暫停時間為第一回合一分五十九秒.

 

當晚的頭條新聞是霍夫的納維德·伊朗和蘇格蘭的本·麥吉文爭奪職業拳擊委員會的空缺 (PBC) 國際輕重量級銀牌頭銜.

 

戰鬥到底才是正確的用語; 這是百年難遇的大逃殺.

 

從一關閉伊朗採取的鬥爭McGivern, 支持蘇格蘭人上的繩索，讓撕裂與大左和權利亂舞. McGivern理智掩蓋起來，等待機會反擊, 他做了良好的效果，一旦機會出現.

 

然而，它並不足以阻止伊朗幾乎立刻回來了類似有力的攻擊. McGivern再次成功應對並初步採取控制.

 

隨著一輪的進行，伊朗降落幾個開裂拍攝，再次被迫McGivern掩蓋的. 伊朗隊用大球繼續施壓, 當麥吉文用手套接住大部分球時，蘇格蘭後衛的一記右拳穿過了球門, 搖晃他的核心.

 

麥吉文如何完成這一輪比賽, 我只是不知道, 他的腿很好，真正走了, 但不知何故，他做到了.

 

第二輪看到伊朗出來硬性, 然而McGivern已經做好準備，突擊, 再次開始掩蓋，但這個時候，而不是僅僅打擊和覆蓋, 他轉動他的對手，去硬的攻擊自己.

 

第三輪看到McGivern採取的鬥爭伊朗, 這導致了一些偉大的拳擊技術從兩個主角隨後.

 

接下來的幾個回合中類似的靜脈戰鬥. 最後一輪，雖然是個徹頭徹尾的戰爭; 兩位拳擊手都把謹慎拋在了腦後，在最後三分鐘內展開了一場全面的混戰 – 多麼令人興奮的一輪.

 

經過八輪精彩的拳擊比賽後，裁判李·穆塔 (Lee Murtagh) 宣布本·麥吉文 (Ben McGiven) 獲勝, 由一個 79-74 分之差.

 

不得不說，雖然絕對是正確的結果, 結果並不能說明每一輪的接近程度, 但第一個, 是. 這兩個人確實上演了一場精彩的表演，是當晚之戰獎的有力競爭者.

 

職業拳擊運動中斷近八十年後重返濱海克拉克頓，這是多麼偉大的活動啊, 這次回歸受到了拳擊藝術愛好者的讚賞，他們在比賽預定開始前幾乎一個小時就擠滿了這座歷史悠久的場館.

TYSON FURY DISCUSSES CRUSHING DOWNWARD SPIRAL AND CAREER COMEBACK IN EMOTIONAL SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH MAURO RANALLO

Lineal Heavyweight Champion opens up ahead of his fight against Deontay Wilder December 1 在SHOWTIME PPV®.

“If mental illness can bring someone as big as me, as strong as me… to my knees, then it can bring anybody to their knees” – Fury

圖片來源: 開演時間

Catch the full interview: https://s.sho.com/2OmqAAq

什麼: Lineal heavyweight champion 泰森怒 opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® 播音員 毛羅Ranallo about his years-long struggle with mental health in what Ranallo deemed the most important interview of his career. The two sat down in Big Bear, California where Fury has been training for his December 1 showdown against WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay懷爾德 住在Showtime PPV®.

 

 

憤怒, who shocked the world in 2015 with a unanimous decision victory over former world champion 弗拉基米爾克里琴科, details his swift rise to the upper echelon of the heavyweight division, all while battling crippling depression and anxiety that diminished his love of the sport. He recounts his apathy toward boxing leading up to the Klitschko fight and the downward spiral he endured following his historic win.

 

 

Following his win over Klitschko, Fury would fail to face his mandatory challengers and attempted to combat his mental struggles with alcohol and drugs, eventually ballooning to 400 英鎊. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” hit a turning point in October of 2017, when he began to seek help for depression and anxiety and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which Ranallo also suffers from.

 

 

Ranallo’s battle with mental illness was recently chronicled in the SHOWTIME documentary BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N’ ROLLER, where the combat sports announcer showcases his struggles and advocates for the shattering of stigmas surrounding mental illness. Like Ranallo, Fury aims to raise awareness of his own struggles and encourage others to seek help.

 

 

“It was like having a fight in my own mind,” Fury said. “[Mental illness] is a silent killer. It is almost like carbon monoxide poisoning because you can’t see it. My calling card is to spread the word on mental health.”

 

 

Fury’s journey back to stardom began with back-to-back wins in his first two fights this past summer. He knocked out Sefer Seferi in June of 2018, and followed suit with a unanimous decision win over Francesco Pianeta in August. His August victory culminated with an in-ring confrontation with Wilder, where the two announced their upcoming heavyweight blockbuster fight.

 

 

The heavyweight showdown headlines the December 1 SHOWTIME PPV 住在離斯台普斯中心在洛杉磯 (9 P.M. ET /下午6時. PT). 懷爾德, who has knocked out all seven challengers of his title, will attempt to make his eighth WBC Heavyweight defense. In the third fight of his comeback, Fury has the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.

CONFIDENT HUGHIE FURY WRAPPING UP ‘TORTUROUS’ TRAINING CAMP; ARRIVES IN BULGARIA SATURDAY TO FACE KUBRAT PULEV IN ‘FIRE & FURY’ IBF ELIMINATOR ON SATURDAY, 十月 27, IN SOFIA, BULGARIA

發表評論

(十月 18, 2018) Britain’s IBF #5-rated heavyweight contender Hughie Fury is putting the final touches on a “torturous” training camp and, with his team, will arrive in Sofia, 保加利亞, 這個星期六.

 

 

上 星期六, 十月 27, 憤怒 (21-1, 11 科斯) 將面臨 Kubrat“ The Cobra” Pulev (25-1, 13 科斯) in a 12-round elimination bout at the Arena Armeec in Pulev’s hometown of Sofia. The winner that night will become the first in line to face champion Anthony Joshua.

 

 

 

本次活動, entitled “Fire & 憤怒” will be presented by Ivaylo Gotzev and John Wirt’s Epic Sports and Entertainment, together with Fury’s promoter, Hennessey Sports, and will be broadcast live in the UK on Channel 5.

 

 

 

“I made a promise to beat Pulev in his own backyard and that’s what I’m going to do,” said a confident Fury. “Nobody else wanted this tough fight. That’s because they’re not future champions. I know what it takes and what you have to do to become the man. I don’t care if I fight Pulev in his own house. He’s in my way of what I want, and he’s got to go.”

 

 

 

Fury and father/trainer Peter Fury have been pushing it to the limit in their Manchester Gym, training twice a day, six days a week for up to three hours per session. But Fury, the current BBBofC British Heavyweight Champion, says all the work will soon be worth it.

 

 

 

“It will all be worth it when my hand is raised,” he continued. “There are no holes in my game right now. I’m at the top of my craft and once Pulev is eliminated, I’ll be coming for Anthony Joshua. He looked vulnerable in his last fight. I’m the one who will capitalize on those vulnerabilities!”

 

 

 

Despite his supreme confidence, defeating Pulev will be no easy feat for 24-year-old Fury. 37-year-old Pulev is one of the most popular athletes in all of Bulgaria, and a former two-time European and IBF International Heavyweight Champion. Pulev’s only career loss came in a challenge for the undisputed heavyweight championship against 弗拉基米爾克里琴科 在 2014. Britain’s 迪利安·懷特 and Americans Jarell Miller 和 多米尼克Breazeale all declined to face Pulev before Fury accepted.

 

 

 

“After I walk right into Pulev’s hometown and take him out, something no other heavyweight would even dare to try, everyone is going to be talking about me and Anthony Joshua. I can’t wait to get this job done and move on to the world championship.”

EMILY PUGH VS VERONIKA SIRAJEVA

Saturday 29th September 2018 – Pride Park, Derby

 

Back in April this year Emily Pugh made her professional debut, and boy oh boy did she do it in style. Emily and her opponent Jelizaveta Cerkasova, who was also making her pro debut, put on a master-class.

 

 

 

The contest was a true master-class, but not in the normal sense of the word as used within boxing circles, whereby one boxer ‘gave a master-class to their opponent’, oh no it was a true closely fought master-class of boxing full stop, one of the most enthralling boxing matches in a long, 很久, one that is only matched by the even more recent ‘Fight of the Year’ nominated World Boxing Council (WBC) Atomweight World Championship contest between Emily’s fellow British & Irish Boxing Authority licensed boxer, the former WBC Muay Thai World Champion Denise Castle and WBC World Youth & International Champion Fabiana Bytyqi.

 

 

 

這個星期六, at Pride Park, in Derby, Pugh is set to step into the ring for her second pro bout, this time the Wolverhampton Girl is set to face Latvia’s Veronika Sirajeva on the undercard of the WBL & EBL European Championship contest between Ross Doherty and Gvido Seilis and co headliner Nathan Decastro versus Agoe Ashong PBC Commonwealth title showdown.

 

 

 

Speaking from her home earlier, Pugh said;

 

 

 

“I am very excited to get back into the ring, and more than ready.

 

 

 

“I am looking forward to boxing six rounds. I intend to win them every one of these rounds with a strong performance, in style.

 

 

 

“My professional debut seems so long ago, and I know that I can top that performance and put on a strong fight.

 

 

 

“I hope my opponent has worked as hard as me and is ready to give it everything she’s got.

 

“Thank you to everyone that has supported me, by travelling to come and watch, to Aspire Fitness who have helped prep me for this fight and my sponsor E-liquid Paradise, who this would not be happening without… 謝謝! I will not let any of you down.”

 

 

 

Emily Pugh versus Veronika Sirajeva is a support bout for the Ross Doherty versus Gvido Seilis for the World Boxing League (WBL) and European Boxing League (EBL) European Welterweight Championships, that co-headlines with the Nathan Decastro versus Agoe Ashong, for the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Commonwealth Super Middleweight Championship contest on the Daniel Gray promoted event at Pride Park in Derby on Saturday 29th September 2018.

Kennerdale: It’s Going to be a War on Saturday Night!

KENNERDALE Vs PEERS

PBC Silver English Welterweight Championship

29th September 2018 – Pride Park, Derby

 

 

Over the past year or so there’s been a lot of speculation, or should that be desire, about the possibility of an all Merseyside showdown between local heroes Craig Kennerdale and Paul Peers.

 

Until very recently it had been just pure wishful thinking, it had been proposed on numerous occasions and failed to be made, however come Saturday night this much anticipated showdown finally becomes a reality, as promoter Dan Gray decided enough of the talking, if the fans want the fight, they should have their wishes come true and added it to the card for his upcoming event at the home of Derby County FC, Pride Park in Derby.

 

When Dan Gray first proposed the fight to Paul Peers, Peers had told him “Good luck mate, others had tried to make the match-up in the past and failed.” Not to be deterred Gray not only convinced Kennerdale’s manager Kyle Gallagher that the time was right, but also the unbeaten prospect himself.

 

Speaking from his Liverpool home Craig Kennerdale explained why he decided to take the fight now.

 

“I always knew that Paul and I would face each other one day, but always expected it to be much later on in our careers, but when Dan (Gray) dangled the carrot of making it for a title, my first title shot, I just couldn’t refuse.

 

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for so long, I’ve been around the sport since I was ten years of age and in that time every single training session, every spar and every fight I’ve ever had has been leading to this fight, I can’t wait for Saturday night, it’s my dream to win a title.

“I can’t help but think that this fight has all the hallmarks of being a seriously good all action fight the fans will love to watch.

 

“I believe styles make fights, the difference in our styles, as well as the way we approach fights make this a very interesting match-up. It’s going to be a war on Saturday night.

 

“Like most boxers on the Liverpool circuit, I know Paul’s ability and believe me I’m not taking anything lightly, he’s a good technical boxer with a strong amateur pedigree.

 

“I’m unbeaten in the pros and believe me I don’t intend on losing my ‘0’ anytime soon.

 

“Although I have respect for Paul, 我在這裡取勝. 我在我一生中最好的形狀, I’m hitting harder and faster than ever before and because of that I have every confidence that it will be me that lifts the belt come fight night.

 

“Respect to Paul Peers and may the best man win!”

Adding extra spice to the contest, if being a Merseyside Derby wasn’t enough; there will be a Title Belt at stake, the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Silver English Welterweight Championship.

 

 

 

 

Speaking from his new home in the Orkneys, Peers made it clear he wasn’t just coming to make up the numbers.

 

 

 

 

“I’m really looking forward to this fight, it’s one that could and should have happened last year.

 

 

 

 

“We’re both from Liverpool, there’s no two ways about it the depth of talent in the city is growing all the time. Liverpool has produced so many Champions over the years, everything from English to World Champions, hopefully after the 29th my name will be added to the long, long list.

 

 

 

 

“I have every intention of boxing at my very best as I try to win this English title, as will Craig.

 

 

 

 

“I’ve seen that Craig is right up for this, he looks even faster now than when I see his training videos. That shows he’s fit and he’s ready, which makes for a good fight, as so am I.

普列夫 (25-1, 13 科斯) and Fury (21-1, 11 科斯) will be competing for the right to face the winner of the September 22 showdown between champion Anthony Joshua 和挑戰者 亞歷山大Povetkin.

 

 

 

本次活動, entitled “Fire & 憤怒” will be presented by Ivaylo Gotzev and John Wirt’s Epic Sports and Entertainment, together with Fury’s promoter, Hennessey Sports, and will be broadcast live in the UK on Channel 5.

 

 

 

One of the most popular athletes in all of Bulgaria, 37-year-old Pulev is on a five-fight winning streak, including a TKO 3 over former heavyweight champion Samuel Peter. Among his many distinctions, Pulev is a former two-time European and IBF International Heavyweight Champion. He stands 6’ 4 ½” and weighs in around 240 磅. Pulev’s only career loss came in a challenge for the undisputed heavyweight championship against 弗拉基米爾克里琴科 在 2014. Fury is the fourth opponent scheduled to face Pulev, as Britain’s 迪利安·懷特 and Americans Jarell Miller 和 多米尼克Breazeale all declined the fight.

 

 

 

普列夫, who will be having his first bout since partnering with Epic Sports and Entertainment, says Fury better not be looking past him while preparing for this fight.

 

 

 

“The fact that Hughie Fury is coming to Bulgaria when many others ran away speaks volumes,” said Pulev. “I understand that he is very motivated because this is an eliminator fight for a chance at the world title. I suggest he stops thinking about the world title for a moment and come prepared for a real battle. I am already in beast mode and I’m hungry for my return in the ring!”

 

 

 

Fury hails from Manchester and is the current BBBofC British Heavyweight Champion and is trained by his father, Peter Fury. The 23-year-old stands 6’ 6” tall and also weighs in around 240 磅. In September of 2017, Fury suffered his only career loss, a controversial majority decision to 約瑟夫·帕克 for Parker’s WBO Heavyweight Championship.

 

 

 

“It’s taken a lot of time to make this fight happen and I want to thank all of those involved,” said Hughie Fury. “I want to fight for world titles and to do that I need to beat the guys at the top of the division. Kubrat Pulev is a serious fight for the mandatory position and I know I’ve got to be the real deal to beat him. I believe I’m going to do that in his back yard where others trembled at the thought of it.”

 

 

 

“We want to be involved in these big fight nights and to go up against the big names that lead the division,” added father and trainer Peter Fury. “To become a world heavyweight champion, you’ve got to overcome every challenge that’s put in front of you. And for Hughie that starts in Bulgaria in October.”

 

 

 

“In this day and age, when some promoters and their fighters opt for the safest bets, Hughie Fury has done the opposite,” said Ivaylo Gotzev of Fury, who has faced his own share of delays and disappointments on his way to this eliminator bout. “Fury has decided to step into the Lion’s Den, and fight Kubrat in his home town of Sofia. This matchup is intriguing, as two of the best in the division step up and face one another. We expect a great heavyweight battle – one that will decide one man’s destiny to fight for the most coveted title in the world – the Heavyweight Championship. To all of Team Fury – you are welcome in Bulgaria!”

 

 

 

Hennessy Sports CEO Mick Hennessy, promoter of Fury, 說: “First and foremost I’d like to heap praise on my young fighter Hughie Fury. There’s no pantomime and no theatrics. He’s just a young man, full of respect for everyone he faces, and who believes in giving the fans proper fights and value for money. 在剛 23 years of age Hughie is a massive talent. He’s not perhaps got the plaudits he deserves, so this is his moment to make the boxing world really sit up and take notice of what he’s capable of.”

 

 

 

“I’d also like to thank my counterparts at Epic Sports & Entertainment for making this fight happen. It’s taken a lot to get to this point, but we were determined to give the fans a fight that they deserve. Both teams are excited about this one.”

 

 

 

The stacked International undercard, along with ticket details, will be revealed shortly.
